"The Theological Dictionary of the Old Testament is still a few months away. We are unsure of the exact release date, but know it won't be in the very near future."

Edwin,

The WS sales rep may have gotten their products mixed up. WORDsearch does not presently have the Theological Dictionary of the Old Testament licensed, nor are they working on it. The rep might have gotten it confused with the Zondervan title "New International Dictionary of Old Testament Theology & Exegesis" that is presently being developed by WORDsearch and will be released in the coming months.

I hope that clears things up.

That...is depressing. I have to say though, I was actually pleasantly surprised (elated, even!!) to hear TDOT was just "months" from availability. Now I guess you can consider me...unsurprised.

Thank you for your interest in
TDOT. The German publisher reports that volume 16 (Aramaic) will be completed
in 2014, and we anticipate our English translation will appear the following
year. Indexing of the Hebrew volumes is ready, awaiting only the Aramaic.

So, I asked someone at Logos if anyone at Logos had talked to Eerdmans about getting the TDOT. This is what I was told:

"Dear Caleb,

Eerdmans does not hold the digital rights to the TDOT. They can only print it. At last count, there were at least 15 individual Germans who own the digital rights, and they have been extremely elusive or generally unwilling to discuss the options."

So, Logos is definitely interested in getting the TDOT. The problem is those individual Germans who own the digital rights who have no interest in allowing the TDOT to be published electronically in Logos (or in any other program). As you can imagine, I was (and still am) very disappointed (and annoyed) that it won't be coming to Logos any time soon. I do hope that someday it will come to Logos, but it looks like I will have no choice but to buy each of the books until they become available electronically (or find a nearby library that has them, or interlibrary loan).
